Collapsing trachea My 11 year old yorkies trachea is collapsing. Would like to talk to anyone going through this |
I am going through this right now. My dog is 12 1/2. His dad had a collapsing trachea that started when he was pretty young - Sam just started having issues recently. I’m not sure what to do yet - he will see the vet later this week for his luxating patella. Makes me nervous - I’ve had him since the minute he was born. I hate that he’s getting older - time has flown by very fast. |
All of my yorkies have had it. Hydrocodone is generally the first medication to try. There is another medication but I can’t think of it off the top of my head. |
I have had a few yorkies with varying degrees of CT. There are quite a few links here on YT about it if you search. If you need help with that, send me a message. Happy to help. I just posted some links for someone else. Perhaps these might help: https://chihuahuaguide.com/chihuahua...apsed-trachea/ https://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/di...d-trachea.html https://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/si...s-trachea.html __________________ |

Torbutrol is one that I have used in the past. It also makes them "goofy" but it does help with coughing due to CT. |

My late puppy's trachea began collapsing at 15 years of age although she had coughing issues off and on her whole life. On xray it showed enlarged heart and liver which the vet said he thought was putting pressure on her trachea and likely ultimately led to the collapsing. Maybe you should get an xray of heart and liver to look for signs of enlargement. If that is what's happening and you catch it early enough, your pup can be put on ACE inhibitor and Lasix to help reduce swelling and stress on the heart... slow the process down. Just a suggestion... hope everything works out okay. |
